PHOTO: TB: Queen Anne's Lace

If you like B-I-G flowers, Maryott's Queen Anne's Lace is the one for
you. It is a crisp, pretty white tangerine bearded flower that has just a
hint of pale blue on its edges and is graced with lace and flair. I
usually don't like huge flowers on iris because of our spring winds here, where
gusts get up to 55 mph. Wind in itself isn't bad, but the gusts give a
quick bursting blast to the iris stalks, and some just can't handle that.
This one just stands proudly in the face of wind. I also like this one
because of the name association with the wildflower Queen Anne's Lace which I
like to photograph in the wild.
